#2761: some ExternalLibraries require cmake to build

 Reporter: Roland Haas
   Status: new
Milestone: 
  Version: 
     Type: bug
 Priority: major
Component: 

We do not list cmake as a requirement for the ET but some ExternalLibarries require it. A quick use of grep reveals:

```
grep -li cmake arrangements/ExternalLibraries/*/src/build.sh
```

these

```
arrangements/ExternalLibraries/ADIOS2/src/build.sh
arrangements/ExternalLibraries/AMReX/src/build.sh
arrangements/ExternalLibraries/NSIMD/src/build.sh
arrangements/ExternalLibraries/openPMD/src/build.sh
arrangements/ExternalLibraries/yaml_cpp/src/build.sh
```

For some cluster we may be able to enable cmake using machine.ini settings by loading a module, but for `generic.ini`we either have to declare cmake a ET dependency and then provide instructions on how to install it on the supported Linux / macOS hosts or disable the ExternalLibraries \(and their dependents, ie CarpetX\) by default.
